Born to a father with a GED and having lost his mother to suicide just days before his first birthday, Lance Cibik's journey began with unimaginable adversity.

Raised in a stepfamily, attending Title 1 public schools, and living paycheck to paycheck, Lance found himself living alone at age 17 during his senior year of high school.
